"Interiors, like fashion, reflect an image of the times. Now we are in the midst of a crisis due to the pandemic, and it gives creativity in different forms. Some fashion houses, responding to wanting to flee reality, come up with fairy-tale designs; others return to basics, to clean and pure lines. This is no different in interior design. In these uncertain times, we want to flee to our homes where we seek safety and warmth and celebrate the simple, pure things in life together. Walnut, stone, jute, leather, soft textured fabrics and earth/terra tones will be used a lot in interior design in 2021 to support this purity. So the basic characteristics for 2021, as far as I'm concerned, are craftsmanship, sustainability, vintage, art and, the most important, character. And frankly, I hope this continues like this for years after that."
"Studio Piet Boon specializes in combining craft and timeless design. This is reflected in everything we do, from exterior and interior design to styling and product design. A design cannot only look beautiful, it must also provide comfort and add to the space. That functional and practicality has been in our DNA since day one. We take the importance of durable, timeless design and quality products for granted. We find that more and more people are recognizing the beauty of craft and are better able to appreciate it."
"My 'sustainable' journey began on the beach. Overlooking the beautiful Dutch dunes, my view was polluted by the appearance of the beach houses present. I imagined beach houses that respect the environment and add a sense of luxury to beach life. In this thought, I found EcoCabins. Together, we presented the first Tiny Villa with sustainable wood construction and green energy supply at MASTERS EXPO 2019. Resulting in the MASTERS Award for most sustainable stand and winning the Brainport Smart District business challenge with 'MyHome'. Sustainability, flexibility and collaboration will determine the trend of 2021. Within this vision, Studio Sluijzer also joins CooLoo and the Circular Canopy concept. Creating circular exterior and interior designs with high-end use of local waste streams is central. These are concrete examples of the sustainable cooperative vision of Studio Sluijzer, which as part of the new housing movement aims to combine luxury and serenity with sustainability."
